I meant to post this on Friday, when I saw Chris Zakes' announcement elsewhere:
Fair Greetings,
Twenty-seven years ago today, the Principality of Ansteorra created the first Order to recognize courtesy, skill and teaching ability on the rapier field. At that time, there were only six kingdoms in the SCA, and rapier was (to the best of my knowledge) only practiced in two of them.
Today, there are nineteen kingdoms in the SCA and rapier is practiced in eighteen of them. The White Scarf is a grant-level award in eleven of those kingdoms; the others have their own high-level rapier awards.
Happy White Scarf day, everybody!
-Tivar Moondragon Ansteorran fossil

Today is March 10th.
While they practice a different type of fencing than I (and I confess my knowledge of it is minimal), I wanted to wish any SCA fencers, especially those in Texas, who may be crossing this board a happy White Scarf Day.
